Famous quotes containing the word education:

    “What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I envy neither the heart nor the head of any legislator who has been born to an inheritance of privileges, who has behind him ages of education, dominion, civilization, and Christianity, if he stands opposed to the passage of a national education bill, whose purpose is to secure education to the children of those who were born under the shadow of institutions which made it a crime to read.”
    —Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825–1911)
